ouch, the lower BJ's are a bear to change. it involves a pricey spring compressor, a specialty press that has no other uses, and it can be quite dangerous. I seriously doubt they would get changed at a GTG... ask the guy what brand ball joint he is charging 80 for, and how long he will warranty the joint with free labor for replacement at that mark up. the OEM lemforder joint is 31 from this site... with that much mark up, what is he claiming the costs to get it changed? 12 hours? or 7 hours at 250.00/hour? or just offering a fixed price?
